Chapter 371: Box office fight

ads_wz_txt;

A "Sleepless in Seattle" actually produced such a strong popularity effect, which is really unexpected by all professionals. The main reason is that this is not a work that can maximize the charm of actors, "Terminator." It has achieved Arnold Schwarzenegger, "Indiana Jones" has achieved Harrison Ford, "Home Alone" has achieved Macaulay Culkin... But "Sleepless in Seattle" does not seem to have reached such a high level.

Professionals then carefully analyzed the violent response from the radio station and came up with such a result. First of all, we must emphasize the expansion effect of the radio. "Night in Seattle" is a work that builds a bridge of love through radio. When Hugo appears on the radio program, the audience's support for Hugo has undoubtedly reached a whole new level. The biggest reason why the effects of talk shows are so exaggerated.

Secondly, thanks to the nature of the theme of the movie "Night Sleep in Seattle", everyone originally thought that putting a love movie on the summer file was a stupid decision, but now it seems that it has accidentally achieved Hugo. . In the summer files full of men, sweat, fights, and explosions, the warmth of "Sleepless in Seattle" is like a porridge, attracting a large number of audiences who are tired of watching commercial blockbuster men. The contrast of this love movie is heating up. For his works such as "Jurassic Park" and "Naughty Adam", it has attracted special groups. In the movie, Hugo, as a representative of a man, took the position that should have belonged to the summer file.

Finally, it must be admitted that the ‘color’ shaping of the diagonal ‘color’ in love movies has become the emotional sustenance of the broad audience. Just like Meg Ryan and Julia Roberts became popular among American sweethearts because of the chick movie, no one would forget Richard Gere’s popularity after "Pretty Girl in Wind and Moon" and became the Diamond King for a time. The best representative of the fifth, and now Hugo is also relying on the image of a good man who is affectionate and humorous in "Sleepless in Seattle" to capture the hearts of countless audiences.

There is another point that cannot be ignored, that is, the two works of "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the Female" and "Yihai Xiongfeng" laid the groundwork for Hugo's third masterpiece to come out in less than eight months. It is the chemical effect of "one plus one is greater than two" in popularity.

On the whole, Hugo's sudden emergence in the radio station and his explosive popularity of **** is an inevitable coincidence, and it is almost impossible to replicate. Moreover, the craze of "Sleepless in Seattle" can only last for a short period of time. After all, the film's influence is not enough. If Hugo wants to consolidate the super popularity this time has won, he must watch the next work. The effect of the "next work" is almost a nightmare for all actors. The continuous success of the work has never been an easy task, otherwise the top actors will be seen everywhere now.

Of course, no matter how the experts analyze it, one thing is unchangeable. In the week following the premiere of "Night Sleep in Seattle", Hugo's popularity is like the hot temperature of July, constantly challenging people. The limit.

After the radio’s high popularity continued into the second week, the box office of the second week that decided the life and death of "Seattle Sleepless" will soon be released.

During the premiere weekend, the biggest competitors of "Night Sleep in Seattle" are undoubtedly "Naughty Adam" and "Jurassic Park", but the results can be seen, "Naughty Adam" did not give "Night Sleep in Seattle". "Enough pressure was put on, but this situation was fundamentally changed in the first week of July.

Directed by Sidney'Bo' Luck, starred by Tom Cruise, and written by Robert Downey, the "sugar-coated trap" jointly created by these three top figures, cost 42 million US dollars, and is'exquisitely' crafted. It hits strongly in the first week of July.

The first week of July is the U.S. Independence Day holiday, and it is also one of the most obvious schedules for the box office in the summer file. Since Independence Day will have a statutory holiday, works that are generally screened during this schedule will choose to premiere in advance and then premiere. It’s a five-day full release every week, which is different from the situation where the movie premiere is selected for three days on Friday and the first week.

Therefore, the works that can be selected to impact the schedule of Independence Day are generally works with strong box office appeal. The "sugar-coated trap" obviously meets this standard, especially Tom Cruise, who is known as the box office panacea. It makes people feel confident in this work.

Although "Sugar-Coated Trap" is the only new film released during the Independence Day holiday this year, it will never be inferior to the momentum of "Jurassic Park" on the topic of "sex", especially this work and "Sleepless in Seattle" face-to-face confrontation, so that many reporters are boiled with gossip.

The preparation process of the "Sugar Coated Trap" can be said to be a wave of twists and turns. Although it is not as frustrating as the "Schindler's List", the casting process has exploded a lot of violent.

For example, Hugo Lancaster and Brad Pitt have a fierce competition for the hero. This is also the third confrontation between the two people after "Dahe Love" and "Yihai Xiongfeng", but no one Unexpectedly, when Brad already had this role in his pocket, Tom Cruise slammed it out and took the role at the last moment.

For another example, Hugo’s date, Uma Thurman, was once infinitely approaching the position of the heroine of this work. Especially after Hugo was eliminated, the call for Uma to join the work increased. The bigger, but after the Golden Globes incident, things changed suddenly, Uma lost the election, and Jenny Tripryhorn was in the strong position. Not long after this, the news that Hugo and Uma stopped dating began to buzz.

These are just superficial hot spots, and they are enough to make people think about it. Now, "Sugar Coated Trap" and "Sleepless in Seattle" are facing each other head-on, and the topic of'sex' is even more explosive.

In fact, as far as the work itself is concerned, "Sleepless in Seattle" is the second week of its release, and "Sugar Coated Trap" is the premiere. There is no competitive'sex' in the first place. After all, "Sleepless in Seattle" is not Jurassic Park. "; Secondly, "Sleepless in Seattle" invested only 20 million, and it was a chick film that was inconsistent with the summer files, but "Sugar Coated Trap" was a big investment of more than 40 million, and it was the hottest court in the past two years. Movie

No one will forget that at the end of last year, stepping on the east wind of the Rodney King incident, "Yihai Xiongfeng" created eight consecutive championships; and in April, the second trial of the Rodney King incident has come down, in the media and the White House. The four policemen were under strong pressure. Even though I was found guilty in the investigation, the other two were acquitted. This time, the whole country was calm.

However, the Federal Court was moved a little bit of compassion when sentencing in accordance with the law. Considering the special nature of this incident, and that all the actions of the two police officers took place after the parties were arrested, they were merciful when sentencing. Xia stabbed the hornet's nest again. Civil rights groups across the United States have asked for another appeal.

So, in this ‘tide’ of the law, whether the "sugar-coated trap" can borrow the east wind is really exciting.

Therefore, according to normal conditions, the box office showdown between "Sugar Coated Trap" and "Seattle Sleepless" is not a heavyweight at all, but it can't resist the wanton exaggeration of the news media. Almost all the focus of attention is locked on these two. This week’s box office performance of this work.

In the first week of July, the "sugar-coated trap" screened in 2,400 theaters across the U.S. hit strongly. On June 30 and July 1, 11 million and 9 million U.S. dollars were exploded. At the box office, the following three days at the box office won 24 million U.S. dollars, and the first five days a total of 44 million U.S. dollars, this result can definitely be said to be exceptionally'splendid'.

Facing the huge pressure of the "sugar-coated trap", "Seattle Sleepless", with the insistence of Columbia Pictures, unexpectedly added 50 theaters for screenings. Obviously, it has strong confidence in the reputation of the film. In the end, the movie got a box office of 23.8 million U.S. dollars in three days over the weekend, a drop of only 7% from the box office of the previous week, which is almost the same.

Such a situation is really unimaginable for everyone. The "Sleepless in Seattle" screened in the next week's "hand in" showed an excellent answer sheet with a 7% drop, and the weekend box office was only behind the "Sugar Coated Trap" by 200,000 US dollars. The gap, which made Paramount Pictures, which is determined to win a big box office win, startled a cold sweat: one of them carelessly, the box office champion of this premiere weekend will leak out of his hands. This is really terrible. .

Although it is said that "Sugar Coated Trap" will be shown for five days in the first week, the box office of the three days on the weekend will be diverted to a certain extent by the first two days, so the weekend box office will certainly not be able to burst out with strong data like the "Jurassic Park" premiere weekend, but The united "sugar-coated trap" was actually'forced' so embarrassed by a chick movie that no one liked ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This is definitely the hottest news in the first week of July

The powerful energy of "Sleepless in Seattle" exploded in the week following its release. Even "Jurassic Park", which is the hottest topic this summer, was willing to bow down. The ultra-low drop of 7% created 23.8 million. The US dollar weekend box office, and two weeks after the release, the cumulative box office of "Seattle Sleepless" has reached 6,300 US dollars. It seems that it is not difficult to cross the 100 million threshold. Such a strong contrast makes the whole The movie industry is full of exclamation.

In the first week of July’s box office rankings, although "Sugar Coated Trap" was crowned the North American weekend box office ranking champion as desired, it ended the three consecutive titles of "Jurassic Park", while "Night Sleep in Seattle" and "Jurassic" "Park" was ranked second and third, but almost everyone's eyes were on "Seattle Sleepless".

Behind the champion by 200,000 dollars and be disappointed, and overwhelming the third runner-up with an advantage of more than 5 million dollars. The second week of "Seattle Sleepless" showed that all words lost the color of "color". Then, two consecutive times. Under great pressure, Zhou is the runner-up "Seattle Sleepless", can it continue to perform miracles in the third week?

Suddenly, those media who were not optimistic about "Sleepless in Seattle" before then began to look forward to it. It is a rare and interesting thing to witness the counterattack of the weak.
